The Mill is a beautiful little cafe located in midtown. It is sparsely decorated, but what it does present is very charming and minimalist. There is seating inside as well as some tables and chairs outside as well. I found the coffee and food at The Mill to be excellent. There are many coffee and tea selections as well as some pastries in the front section and waffles. The waffles seem to be the only hot food item there, but it is very popular and is an item totally worth getting. The waffles is an excellent size and has a crispy outside and chewing interior. It comes with powdered sugar all over the top and your choice of jam or maple syrup. I went with the jam and I really enjoyed the waffle with it. The coffee was of very high quality. I had the cold brew with their sweet cream on the top. The cold brew was strong and the cream had a premium stiffness to it that standard coffee places don't do. It was not very sweet and for those who enjoy their coffee with less sugar, this is great. I found the coffee enjoyable throughout my time with it as I sat in the cafe hanging out with my friend. The Mill is a a top notch cafe and well worth a visit. read more

Driven past 100 times. Finally had the chance to stop today. Wonderful experience. Friendly staff. Barista was good at their craft. Pulled good shots. Ordered espresso tonic. Like their version of this. Slightly sweet but not too sweet. Flavorful. The space is intimate. Seating inside. Outside too. I will repeat. Highly recommend. read more

I've passed by this coffee shop so many times, and we finally stopped in on a Sunday morning. When we stopped there was a run club out in their driveway area (they were blocking the way onto their parking lot) and we ended up getting a parking spot on the street. It's good to know that they do have a small parking lot though. It's a small cafe with a few bar seats along the window as well as a cute little outdoor patio in the back. The team members were very nice and I made small talk with the person taking my order, and ended up ordering their favorite- an iced honey latte. The coffee didn't take too long, even though there were a few orders ahead of mine, and it was delicious. I'd definitely stop by again in the future. read more

I've been coming to The Mill for years and their quality has always been consistent. They're known for their coffee and waffle in hand. On Sunday, I arrived at 7:30 and there was a couple of people enjoying their coffee. I was greeted by a kind barista and I decided to order the cappuccino and a croissant. My croissant was handed to me on plate and my drink took about 5 minutes. That first sip feeling was amazing. I'm still dreaming of the cappuccino that I had. The croissant was good. Nothing special, but still satisfied my craving. I would recommend coming here to get coffee and a waffle in hand, sit outside at the table and people watch. There's a lot of bikers and hikers as this is near a trail by Sacramento State. read more

I stopped by here on a whim and tried the roasted iced matcha latte. It was enjoyable! I also tried the chocolate croissant and was pleasantly surprised how delicious and flaky it was. It was topped with sea salt, it was so good! Cashier was pleasant and welcoming. The shop was nice, clean but small. I would love to come back and try their other drinks. read more

This is a cute and small coffee shop right outside of CSUS. The coffee shop has good AC so it's toasty when it's cold outside. They have good indoor and outdoor seating. I love their selection of teas and seasonal specialty drinks. Parking is difficult but if you are on foot, this is a great place to grab and go. read more

They make the most out of a fairly small shop. I was pleasantly surprised by their large selection of tea both to drink and buy. This place is popular for Sac State students since it's so close to campus. We ordered a matcha and decaf latte read more

Came with my best friend for a coffee date for her bday. Super cute inside and the outside area is nice and covered. Parking is a bit difficult as there aren't a ton of spaces and backing out can be difficult, but there is also some street parking. We had the iced chai and iced matcha. Both delicious, would recommend the wildflower syrup added to the matcha as it is unsweetened. The chai was spicy too. We also had the chocolate chip mochi waffle which was delicious! For me, the cookie was just ok. It is nice and thick but the flavor just isn't there for me and the texture is interesting. Will def be back to try more things! read more

Great coffee. Cool little joint. Roasting their own beans right there. Cappuccino was perfectly made

If you're looking for a quiet, low-key spot to study or get some work done, this place is a hidden gem. The vibe is super chill, with relaxing study music playing in the background and plenty of seating both indoors and outside. It's the kind of place you can actually focus in--no loud crowds, just a peaceful atmosphere. I tried their matcha with honey, and it was delicious! The matcha had a smooth, rich flavor, but I'd probably ask for light honey next time--it was a little too sweet for my taste. I also ordered a latte, which was solid and well-made. One small downside: the extra shot was a bit pricey (inflation, maybe?), but not a dealbreaker. Shoutout to the one staff member working when I visited--she was amazing. Super patient, answered all of our questions, kept the place running smoothly, and was even bussing tables in between helping customers. Seriously appreciated her hustle and kindness. Parking-wise, there's street parking available, but just a heads up: the ACE Hardware next door doesn't allow coffee shop parking unless you're shopping there. Overall, this is a cozy, no-frills coffee spot that nails the essentials--good drinks, great service, and a calm atmosphere for working or studying. read more

Love the coffee here. For around $6 I get a high quality cappucino. Coffee taste fresh, they use organic milk. You get small and quality here which is what a coffee should be. At Starbucks and the chain coffee, you can get a large or XL coffee but it is mainly just burnt coffee beans and milk fluff or nowadays they make coffee with tons of sugar which is why Americans are fat and have lots of diabetes. Hope this doesn't offend anyone just stating facts. But yea love the coffee here, their specialty coffees are a bit expensive but the simple stuff is fair, fresh, and great. read more

Cute little hole in the wall coffee shop near Sac State. I've tried a few beverages and the matcha is my usual go to. If you're looking for a sweet drink the iced caramel latte might hit the spot. The iced chai and vanilla bean latte have been a hit or miss for me. The shop itself is very clean and nicely put together. Seating inside is limited but they have outside seating as well. The employees here are nice and service is pretty quick! read more

Quaint! Really liked the vibe and the coffee was most excellent. Spent an hour and a half here and would have stayed longer but the coffee was gone. Definitely not what I expected but in the best way. The back patio is very chill. Will be back for sure. read more

This is easily the best coffee I've ever had. The vibe is amazing. I went the first day with my girlfriend and got the iced caramel latte. It blew my mind. I've had a lot of coffee in my life but nothing has ever hit like this. I came back the next morning just to get the SAME DAMN THING. I even tried my girls matcha, and I don't even drink matcha. I actually hate it. But somehow they made me like it.... If you gave this place one star you're seriously tripping...Go kick rocks! This spot is absolutely worth the wait. One hour, two hours, I'd wait all day for this coffee. It's that damn good! read more

Dog shit service. Stood there for 10 minutes waiting for help while Carlos kept talking to some dude. Left and won't be back

Although flat white is not on the menu, the barista made me a superb flat white! Very impressive! The coffee is delicious.i was also excited to see the plethora of loose leaf tea options... Including actual traditional tea bricks. This cute little coffee shop is strategically located next to one of the walk paths to CSUS from Elvas Street off of 65th. The primary challenge is parking. There are a couple spots in front that are 15 minute spots, and a parking lot in the back. I would definitely pop by here again. read more

It's a cute shop but I probably will not be returning. Service: meh. Prices: eh (don't buy their matcha equipments because they're overpriced but to each their own). Matcha Latte: colored milk. I wasn't too upset over this though because of low expectations, sleep deprivation, and it not being the worst I've tried but the red fiber in my drink nailed this coffin shut. Just wait in line at Offbeat Coffee or go to Matcha Cafe Maiko or don't. Unsupported Observation: their iced lattes looks b l a n d; now that would pmo more than a messed up matcha. Good luck read more

The Mill - 16oz Iced Matcha Latte w/ Whole Milk ft. Unknown Red Fiber - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Stopped by for a quick coffee and it did not disappoint! I ordered the iced vanilla latte, half sweet along with a waffle and jam. Good espresso and creamy body, not too watered down like some iced lattes are. The shop is tiny but very cute and clean. They have a variety of coffee beans and teas. Parking situation is a little difficult; there's 2 street spots in the front and a small narrow lot. I would absolutely come back or try the midtown location. read more

I got the wildflower latte and it was amazing! It's not too sweet, it's the perfect balance of coffee and floral. The staff was very friendly and answered my questions related to the drinks. I also got the zucchini bread, it was gluten free and it was good. The Elva st location is small and there is no where to sit inside but theres a covered patio with seats. Parking is also limited read more

I had coffee last time and tea this time. I was happy that they have good tea selections here, but a pot is so big and too much and too expensive for one person. Wish they have a smaller pot/cup option with less price. The place has several seats inside, but the door is kept open, so it's cold in winter. No gluten/dairy free options for food I noticed. read more

Solid little coffee shop, not as busy as I thought it would be since its near a college campus. Great waffles decent matcha but better coffee! read more

3.5 stars. Nice menu selection and good service. Limited seating inside but more seating outside. I respect that they offer housemade Chai, although I found it to be just a touch too bitter for my preference. Waffle was very light. Maple Syrup was cold which kinda contrasted with the warm waffle. I think I would have preferred it warmed to match. Overall, pretty good coffeeshop. I'd go again. read more

When I first walked into The Mill, I was excited because they had quite a few tea items and loose leaf tea for purchase, including some teas I find it difficult to find. I was then recommended to try their yeast waffle. I got a plain one with just powdered sugar to give it a try for the first time. It was freshly-made and incredible. I have never had a waffle quite like that. I would definitely return just for that, although I do want to try some of their other offerings as well. read more

I love The Mill and have been here many time in the past few years . Consistency is key to all great establishments and the people at The Mill know what they are doing ! I know what to expect when I walk through the doors. I usually order a cappuccino or a latte with their in house made vanilla syrup if I'm feeling extra indulgent. Both are made with expertise . Flavors are always well balanced, temperature and milk texture are perfect. The space is TINY. Very cozy inside with a few counter seats and some outdoor seating as well. Walkable to sac state . Friendly staff. This place is a win win for Sacramento! read more

this was a top tier experience. the service was fantastic and the outside patio is so comfy. most importantly, the vanilla bean latte and the matcha were so good. One of the best ones i've had.

Good waffles. Decent coffee. Not sure what else to write to make the 85 characters limit...

I visited the coffee shop to purchase a drink before attending a workout class at Sacramento State. When I returned from my class, the gate to the property had been closed, leaving me unable to access my vehicle. There were no visible signs on the property indicating that the gate would be closed, and the employee working at the time did not inform me of this policy. As a result, I was unexpectedly prevented from retrieving my car, which is both frustrating and unacceptable. I now have to go back tomorrow and retrieve my car. Clear communication--either through posted signage or verbal notice--is necessary to prevent situations like this from occurring. read more

The Mill is a super cute, small coffee shop! I came in to study on a Saturday morning and appreciated the chairs facing the window to let the sunshine warm my face. Just a heads up for those coming to study, there isn't much space to sprawl out, so it's great if you're only using a laptop, but not as much if you need to write in a notebook. I really appreciated all of their gluten-free and vegan options. Although, I don't fall into either category, I love the inclusivity. I ordered a hot chocolate and a few hours later a chocolate chip waffle. Both were quite delicious and I would definitely recommend giving the waffles a try! read more

This is such a convenient pick me up spot for Sac State students! The service was okay, they were weirdly quiet and nonchalant. Though, they did answer all of our questions. The shop was filled with the sweet aroma of their fresh waffles. We got a Wildwood Flower Latte and a Matcha Latte! Both were mediocre, nothing special. The WFL had floral notes, but overall bland and tastes mostly like milk. However, it is a great spot to study and chat! Tight knit corners inside, but plenty outside seating! We chatted for 6 hours outside, enjoying the weather, and watching people drive terribly. I'll be returning to try their Mocha and Waffles. read more

Overall? 5/5, I personally love this location. I think they consistently make great coffee with a recently revamped seasonal menu with a select variety of bakery items. I like that they offer both matcha and espresso tonic options on their menu which can be a bit of a rarity. Fast service and minimalist ambiance aim for a relaxed yet lively feel They offer limited indoor and a nice back patio for outdoor seating. The best part is it hooks up with some solid walking/biking trails making it perfect start or finish Parking? Limited parking lot, street parking read more

Decided to give this location a try, parking is hard to come by. Overall the place is on the smaller side. Aesthetic is cute and i love how theres an outdoor option to hang out.
